Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Green card or paper
• Scraps of black, red or purple card, paper, felt, tissue paper etc
• Pencils and pens
• White glue

1. Have children place their hands on the green paper and draw around them. Older children can do this by theirselves.

2. Make oval shapes for pointy fingers and long nails from scraps and stick them on the hand cutout.

3. Embellish with glitter if preferred. You can add spider like veins using your own hands as models

4. Do you wish to add warts. Make them from scrunching tissue paper into tiny balls and glue them on the hands.

5. To create monster hands, cut handprints from green or brown paper and square off the fingers Make fingernails black or silver. Draw in veins and hair with black marker.

6. Make ghost hands from white paper. Stretch the handprints out a bit for long, thin fingers. Cut fingernails from grey or silver paper and decorate with glitter if desired.

Tips & Warnings

• Use the hands to decorate a notice-board, the fridge, or the Halloween table (place them on either side of a plate for a humorous effect). If you attach them to the edge of doors with sticky-tack it looks as if someone spooky could be hiding on the other side!
